Two Trails of Smoke (for Bernice), Charming c 1920s Ink Drawing of Smoking Woman on Pedestal mouse drawing with no chips or cracks

with no chips or cracks that I can see

and also the ones I like tend to have really strong graphic appeal

but the blade here is fixed in place

seeming also to describe her efforts here as Henrietta's work

But also just a beautiful display piece

Two Trails of Smoke (for Bernice), Charming c 1920s Ink Drawing of Smoking Woman on Pedestal mouse drawing with no chips or cracksThis drawing is one of two ink over graphite drawings, clearly by the same person, listed today, which I like for their curiousness, and for the women who are their subjects, who look quite self possessed, this one perched on what looks like the remnant of a classical column, smoking away, as if sitting back and watching the fall of Rome! 6 1 2" x 4 7 8", good condition, c. 1920s I believe.
